Emma Gama Pinto July 24 1928 – October 28 2020 Emma Gama Pinto on Pio (Excerpts from the book) Pio’s detention on Manda Island:  Pio told later that he built a small shelter against scorching sun and a simple bed. The land was destitute of vegetation and there were no facilities when he got there. A daily ration of food was barely enough to suffice for one meal. He went on a hunger strike, but after nine days realised that it would hurt prisoners nothing more. They would die like dogs for the all the authorities cared. The prisoners were sullen and dejected. Pio met some of his old friends there … Achieng Oneko and others and they set about improving the morale of the 9000 men on the island prison. They organised games and tried to catch fish, turtles and the like to supplement their impoverished diet. After pleading with the authorities, I was allowed to write to my husband once a month but the letter would be censored. His reply would be censored. I received permission to send P...

 CAN YOU THROW ANY LIGHT ON THIS EASTLEIGH STORY? D M   < debm789@gmail.com > 18 Jan 2026, 22:27 (10 hours ago) to  me ,  D Good Morning! I hope my email finds you well. Happy New Year! I'm sure, because random people come across your blog about asians in East Africa (Kenya), you must get emails from all over the world enquiring about their familiy's history.. as my email also is! My father & mother's families moved from Mombasa & Ramisi respectively, to Nairobi. I was born in 1960, & was baptised by Fr Joseph Whelan (Wheelan), who married my parents at St Teresa's church in Nairobi, in 1957. Two of my siblings were baptised by Fr Whelan. Not sure which priest baptised my youngest sister, who was born in April 1970. After a lifetime of stories from my late Dad & his siblings, I grew curious to find out the history of Fr Joe Whelan parish priest of St Teresa's church Eastleigh Naurobi and also of Mother Gertrude (Holy Family Parochial school) in...

 H. JANMOHAMED   I am from Mombasa, Kenya and spent my teenage years working and helping my family manage the Regal Theatre in Mombasa....The magic and thrill of cinemas and movies never leaves you!! This blog provides historical information, trivia and photos on the cinemas, and the cinema industry in East Africa. Also visit the Regal Theatre Mombasa page on Facebook. REGAL THEATRE, MOMBASA I discovered this photo of Regal Theatre, Mombasa in our family album. I think it's the only one in existence that shows the facade, ie. the front of the building overlooking Salim Road. It appears to have been taken in the late 1940s / early 1950s. In those days parking was allowed in front of the building on Salim Road! It's amazing to see the street vendor selling nuts in front of the entrance. I used to buy peanuts here in the 1970s and mix it with my popcorn before the movie! We used to stand her to see Kenyatta and Moi's motorcade when they were in Mombasa. The '...

 The Samaki Club This is not a photo of the Samaki Club, it does feature Philo Mazor (he with the cats’ eyes) Rodrigues, extreme left, Nascimento, Derek Lobo, Peter and Geoff Ahluwalia. Once upon a time in Nairobi, Kenya, there were a formidable, dedicated bunch of blokes who called themselves “The Samaki (aka Fish) Club”. Among them were Phil “Mazor” Rodrigues, the late John Goes, Diamond Mike Fernandes, the late Jules Fernandes, the late Derek D’Mello, the late Sidney Machado, the late Hipol Fernandes, the late Peter Fernandes, Norman Da Costa, the late Steven Fernandes, the late Stas Martins, Tyrone and Reynold D’Souza, Freddie Costa Fernandes and lots of others who this mzee can’t recall. We fished all around Kenya but our “big day out” was always to Stoney Athi, south of Machakos. We usually met at the Railway Goan Institute on Saturdays. The main task of the junior members was to ensure that the senior members got home in good time only to be woken up a few hours later. The y...
